There are lines that are seared into the memory long after one has put the book back on the shelf.

All of them give me goosebumps about what we're hearing now - Ann Rand was quite prophetic.

After the Root of Money speech, a lady tells Francisco that she feels he is wrong. It’s not about facts, but feelings. Where have we heard this argument recently?

From liberals all over - in education, it's all about how the students 'feel'. They have a self-esteem boosting agenda based on nothing but feelings without realized tru self-esteem comes from persevering and accomplishing a goal. In the government - it's all about the 'women', 'children', 'minorities'. All arguments are emotional and when a conservative dares to use facts and logic, they are called (again, totally emotion-based) names.

I even found it in the past election. A woman who was supporting Obama was doing so on the basis of feelings and felt those feelings were more important than facts.
